Did Marvel Copy From Mahabharat? Fans Think Theme Of Moon Knight Is Similar To Indian TV Serial
The much-awaited?Marvel series Moon Knight is already making a lot of waves, but we didn't expect it will make headlines for this reason. Some fans have pointed out that the background score of the series has been copied from the Indian TV epic series Mahabharat, which aired in 2013. What's interesting is that both the series are airing on Disney+ Hotstar.
A Reddit user pointed out the same by attaching both the clips one after the other, emphasising the fact that they are both similar to each other. In the caption, he wrote, "Marvel's moon knight's bgm is way similar to Mahabharat theme."
Here's how people reacted to this.?
"Good find OP. Wondering if it's copied or rights were taken."
"Many times, makers tend to use filler music called temp music and recreated/imitated music pieces just within legal limits as part of BGM. Marvel has history of doing it.There's a great video by "Every frame a painting" channel explaining the process "Marvel symphonic universe". I recommend watching the whole video, but the relevant part starts from 6 min onwards. And a follow-up video to that where they compare some similar-sounding tracks.Fyi, it's 5 years old and taking note from this video Marvel started to be more careful and creative wrt soundtracks eg Ragnarok. But it seems when stakes are low, they don't mind the old days.And I think someone looks deep enough, Mahabharat soundtrack can also be linked to some old orchestra piece."
"Marvel Moon Knight didn't orchestrate the score. They purchased rights to the songs featured in the series. So you would have to find out which song it is and whether that song was created before or after Mahabharat."
"Yes it does sound similar but copying bgm is super normal in every industry".
"Avatar also copied Swades background score, I remember I was stunned when I first heard the similarities".
"Doesnt sound similar to me".
"Pehle Ranveer to Shang Chi, aur ab ye. Mera India badal Raha hai. Tarakki kar Raha hai."
For the unversed, earlier, fans had pointed out how Shang-Chi copied a scene frame-by-frame from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani.?
Here are the other times when Hollywood copied from Bollywood.?
